No one can say that Sarah Palin is a dull character. It is a sign of the quality of this politician’s convictions if she has managed to polarize the opinion of an entire nation in the way that she has. This is one gun-toting, moose hunting god fearing woman with a real attitude and a real sense of purpose. Whatever you think of her, you have to admire the fact that she has managed to balance being the Governor of Alaska – as well as John McCain’s running mate for the forthcoming presidential election – with keeping home for no less that 5 wonderful children. Further evidence that Sarah Palin really does stand for the politics that she advocates can be found in the fact that her eldest son is currently serving in Iraq.

Sarah Palin’s early life started in Idaho but her family soon moved across to Alaska. This was home for the rest of her life so far, with a few stints out of the state as she moved around a frankly staggering number of Universities.

Todd Palin is Sarah Palin’s husband and lifelong sweetheart with who she eloped in 1988 when she was 24. Todd and Sarah Palin have five children.
